read all about it. http://motocross.transworld.net/100...tm_campaign=inside-units-skycraft-fmx-machine I find it silly. I bet one gets snapped in half soon. - Fun to look at but belongs in another thread.
"I find it silly. I bet one gets snapped in half soon." Maybe so but they make airplanes out of it and you ether ride in them or stand under them.
you might be right I just don't have a big love for CF. I have seen my share of snapped CF parts on MTB's to know i don't want any. Most if not all commercial airplanes are built of aluminum and rivets for a reason
Not any more, there not! Latest generation fighter aircraft are now mainly synthetic. That bike´d be useless for me. But I just like the pornography.
They were actually developing that bike about 10 years (I think) ago, I remember reading about it in an Aussie fmx mag. I was surprised to see it is still around. Thought it had become one of those cool ideas that never took off or became stalled from lack of funds, a bit like the Ossa enduro bike.
Mr. Pierer : I must move all Husky's production from Italy to Austria ,pronto Pierer's right hand man: But sir, we all ready have an Italian firm building our case parts, won't this piss off our vendor(s) in Italy!?! Mr. Pierer : Damn it! I am the boss and I don't want to use that brand new ,state of the art factory in Italy! Pierer's right hand man: BUT, but, but sir...what about our ktm parts ....like this...
Ford & GM get all kinds of cheap parts from Japan too. You know one day I was taking a little drive from Germany to see a friend in Austria. At one point I took a wrong turn on the highway and ended up at Italy. All looked the same to me. You guys make too much of these little countries and their borders. It's like complaining that your microwave was assembled in Texas instead of Arizona.
I would not want a "plastic" frame on my MC. I think you are wrong about commercial airplanes. Both Boing and Airbus use composites in their planes. You may be in a hardhat area and not know it. But normally they try not to fly airplanes trough the rocks like I do my MC so it is not a good analogy.
The problem I have with Carbon Fiber is that when it doeas fail it's more than likely to be "Catastrophic failure". That means "OUCH"!
View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p0GTHPZ598 CCM´s coming out with a supermoto on this frame soon ... with a Kymco 449!
Have had my CCM 644DS sumo for ten years now, Ridden it every day. And still prefer it to my Husky 630SM. `Tis lighter and a lot more agile, so I don´t mind it not having the same power.
apart from that pierer interview, there's also a 5-page article about the speedbrain 450 rally" bike in the latest issue of "motorrad magazine". r
...but you know I have the right to express my feelings/interests/thoughts and you can ,too...and I will poke fun at s.p. as long as he keeps calling his ktm's a Husky
Looks like the CTS 4 sure and maybe the linkage is under the SA this time ... Totally not interested in this bike myself but maybe the CTS will get a valid review this time ...
Agree. I don´t much like it either. But CCM´s supposed to be coming out with a sumo on the same frame with the same engine (but with a six-speed box) and that´s the kind of bike they´re really good at. Should also look good.
